Match Preview

Richard J Green brings us his BIG MATCH PREVIEW on our FA Cup tie against Southern Premier step 3 opponents.

HARROW BOROUGH v CRAY VALLEY (PM)
3 OCT 2020
THE EMIRATES FA CUP – 2nd QUALIFYING ROUND

Just eighteen months on and it’s another trip down “Wembley way” for Kevin Watson’s Cray Valley boys in search of Club history.
This time it's 5 miles from the famous “arch” – the venue, Earlsmead Stadium, home of Pitching In Southern League Premier South Division side Harrow Borough.
The prize – a place in the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup for the first time in the Club’s 100 year history.
By comparison. their hosts have reached the competition proper twice in the last 10 years – the most recent being in 2016/17 when a First Round visit to Northampton Town resulted in a 6-0 drubbing.

While The Millers can boast an as yet, unbeaten start to the season, Boro’s campaign has seen them beaten in their 3 league outings – the most recent being a 5-2 defeat at Met Police on Tuesday when defender Chinua Cole was dismissed following a 56th minute fracas. A 70th minute penalty and last minute over-head kick from Marc Charles-Smith put a glimmer of light on an otherwise dismal performance.
A hitherto solid – before Tuesday – defence has been Boro’s early season strength, while FA Cup wins at Langney Wanderers (on pens after a 1-1 draw) and Beaconsfield Town (2-0) have seen Harrow through to this stage.
Darren Wilkinson’s men - who were languishing in 17th place when the 2019/20 was brought to a premature close - are sure to provide a stern test for The Millers, but hopes will be high for a victorious trip home to South East London.
